+ * This module makes it easy to restrict what HTTP methods can be ran against
+ * a server.
+ *
+ * It provides one comand:
+ * AllowMethods
+ * This command takes a list of HTTP methods to allow.
+ *
+ * The most common configuration should be like this:
+ * <Directory />
+ * AllowMethods GET HEAD OPTIONS
+ * </Directory>
+ * <Directory /special/cgi-bin>
+ * AllowMethods GET HEAD OPTIONS POST
+ * </Directory>
+ * Non-matching methods will be returned a status 405 (method not allowed)
+ *
+ * To allow all methods, and effectively turn off mod_allowmethods, use:
+ * AllowMethods reset
